Grace Hammond Skertich

Grace is a mother, wife, lawyer, dog lover, terrible cook, and beach enthusiast. She graduated from Millsaps College in 2006 where she met her husband Ryan, a New Orleans native. Three years of law school, two dogs, four moves, five years of practicing law and two baby boys later, she wrote and published Goodnight Memphis. In an effort to ensure she never has a free moment of time again, Grace convinced artist David Lynch to help her create just one more book – Goodnight 30A. Grace and her family spend a slice of summer in Alys Beach every year, and have spent some of their favorite days of their lives all over 30A. She lives in Memphis, Tennessee with her husband, two precious boys, Wade and Whit, and two spirited Boxers, Mae and Jack.
